Callamanus Worms... Need advice
Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2015 9:02 pm
Hello, I hate this to be my first post in a long while (comp was broken for while, among other lame excuses for my loooong absence)... but it is what it is. I hope to be more active of late.
Anyways, I digress. As you can tell by the thread title I have recently have acquired some fish infested with callamanus worms.. In my infinite stupidity and lack of a nurse tank, they have now completely infected my 100g red eared slider tank. My pea puffer (10g) tank may also be infected because I used the same python water changer before I noticed the worms.
I first treated all animals in the tank with prazipro, but since they have not responded to treatment I researched and am sure they have callamanus worms.
I have already purchased levamisole hcl for treatment and have a good idea of how to treat the tank, but am not sure what the correct procedure for dosing the food of the animals would be. I am also not sure if the turtle needs direct treatment, is it possible for a red eared slider to get callamanus worms?
Thanks in advance.
